The Ultimate Guide to Visiting Iceland

by Girl Sees The World | May 13, 2018 | Europe, Iceland, Travel

Meet Christie

IMG_7222

Hi! I’m Christie, a 28-year-old girl originally from Boston who has lived all over the world. I love living abroad and experiencing different places as a local. I have no greater passion than travel, and when I’m not exploring I spend my free time reminiscing on past trips, daydreaming about future travel, and sharing it all here on Girl Sees The World.

🖤 BLACK LIVES MATTER 🖤 Breaking my social me 🖤 BLACK LIVES MATTER 🖤 Breaking my social media detox to participate in #blackouttuesday. I’m so disgusted at the way black people in the US are still being treated in 2020. Obviously I can’t even begin to imagine the way it feels to be a POC in the US today. But it’s our duty as white people to acknowledge our white privilege and stand in support of black Americans. Listen to their stories and fight alongside them in times of injustice. . It also pisses me off that Trump supporters have the nerve to say “Keep America Great.” America is a mess right now, and the entire system needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. I’ve spent the majority of the Trump presidency outside the US, and every time I come back to visit after some time away, I’ve been shocked by how much more openly hateful and racist people are than the last time I was here. And a big reason for that is having a president that encourages hate. Trump (and people who share his mindset) is destroying the US and we WILL vote him out in November. . If you’re white, use this time to educate yourself on your white privilege and what you can do to be actively anti-racist. Remember “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”
Throwback to the last day trip I was able to take Throwback to the last day trip I was able to take in England 💕
I’m missing the electric atmosphere of London 🇬🇧 (well of pre-lockdown London that is)
Since it will probably be a while until I can trav Since it will probably be a while until I can travel again, I’ve been mentally escaping to some of my favourite spots. This was Cagliari, Sardinia where Alex and I visited in February and immediately fell in love with! 🇮🇹 P.S. if you’re looking for some ways to satisfy your wanderlust while you’re stuck at home, check out my new blog post! Link to my blog is in my bio 💕
My favourite way to start the morning 💕 a warmi My favourite way to start the morning 💕 a warming bowl of oatmeal made with almond milk, banana, chia seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, topped with a scoop of peanut butter and a quick homemade blueberry compote. Accompanied by a cup of tea of course!
How’s everyone coping with social distancing and How’s everyone coping with social distancing and quarantining? I’m a planner so it’s frustrating to not know when things will be back to normal. I’m also really missing Alex who was supposed to visit last week but had to cancel his flight because of everything going on. 😔 Apart from that, as a natural introvert, this quarantine really isn’t bothering me too much. I miss getting out and spending time with friends (although now that I’m back in the Boston suburbs for a few months, I wouldn’t be doing that anyway since I don’t really have any friends here 😂) but I’ve always enjoyed taking time to myself. Since I’ve been back in the US this past month, I’ve been prioritising self care and focusing on my hobbies. I’ve gotten back into fitness, I’m continuing to work on my French skills, I’ve been cooking and baking lots of new recipes, and I’m starting to post on my blog again after close to two years of neglect. All the focus I’m giving myself feels really good! I’m definitely looking forward to the world returning to normal, but until then, I’ll be looking at the positives of the situation. 💕 . What are some of the things you’ve been doing while in quarantine? . (Photo was taken on a day trip to Cambridge in late February. I was about 5 days into recovery from a bad flu at the time. Looking back, based on my symptoms and how I felt, there’s actually a chance it was the coronavirus 😳)
“There’s something in the New York air that ma “There’s something in the New York air that makes sleep useless.” 🏙 I’m currently reading “City of Girls” which is set in NYC in 1940. (I’d highly recommend btw! Loving it so far!) Of course I enjoy modern-day New York but I wish I could experience the glamour of mid-century NYC for a while 💕
I have yet to tick Venice off my bucket list, but I have yet to tick Venice off my bucket list, but I guess Cambridge could be considered the English equivalent 😍
I miss stumbling upon random vegan cafes or market I miss stumbling upon random vegan cafes or market stalls with great vegan food... vegan options are pretty hard to come by in the South Shore of Massachusetts 😂😭 Me and Alex snacked on this delicious vegan mac topped with sun dried tomatoes at a little market in Cambridge (Cambridge, England not Cambridge, Boston 😉)
I dream of living on a rainbow street like this 😍
